Resolution Report

Here's the list of 2010 Resolutions and progress made:

• Ride my bike to work at least once Definitely possible in terms of distance but I don't know if it is feasible in terms of not dying. The roads I would have to take don't have shoulders and are very busy. Plus I would have to cross a narrow bridge and the sidewalk part of it is closed. AND people in Pottstown just are not used to dealing with bikers on the road. It's not off the table though if I got up really early.
• Organize office, craft, sewing and scrapbook supplies and start using the office as a functional craft space In progress. The closet still looks like a bomb hit it. But I did unpack the sewing machine and make very small inroads on the organization front.
• Finish painting the rest of the house The living room is now painted. This only leaves the hallways, my bedroom, and the powder which is painted but that I already want to repaint. So I am making progress on this one.
• Make a loaf of bread from scratch
• Go one week without the internet I'm counting it. --->Completed 1/15
• Take at least one mural tour in Philly I couldn't do this one until spring (they don't give the tours in the winter). Now my Saturdays are filled with soccer. But I am going to at least get it on the calendar soon. Anyone want to join me??
• Fly a kite Isaac and I busted the kite out the other day for fun and discovered the dowel that goes across the width of the kite is missing. I will have to try to fashion a replacement. That was sad.
• Scrapbook 3 pages a month EPIC FAIL. Haven't done a single page this year. Probably because all my supplies are such an unorganized mess (see previous unfinished resolution).
• Work out twice a week Yeah... ummm... I haven't hit this every time.
• Start composting I did a bit of research on this and talked to my gf who composts and lives in an apartment and she gave me some good tips. But I have yet to actually do anything to start.
• Take Isaac camping
• Drink 8 glasses of water a day Very hit or miss. If I remember to bring my water bottle into school I do better. Otherwise it will be like, 8 at night and I will be like, "Why the heck am I so parched?" and then I will realize I have drank, like 2 glasses of water all day.
• Take a class on something hobby related Not yet, unless you count me going with my friend Jami to her adult gymnastics class. My composted girlfriend did invite me to an urban bee keeping class but I couldn't make it. Not sure that is the hobby I want to tackle right now anyways. So, this one is still incomplete.
• Make progress towards getting my elementary certification (right now I am highly qualified in elementary ed, but it is more desirable to be dually certified) No and I MUST do something to get rolling on this over the summer.
• Floss daily Another total and complete FAIL. I have yet to floss in 2010. I know, it's terrible. I have a dentist appointment in a week and I fully expect to be reamed out and lectured about gum disease.
• Read three books before I head to the beach I am about 1/2 way through Anne of Green Gables (reread) and halfway through The Total Money Makeover. I can only read that one in small bursts, because while it is very inspirational, it makes me feel terrible about the state of my finances.
• Eat more homemade meals and less frozen stuff and fast food Slight improvement but still a long, long, long way to go.
• Grow something edible and eat it I had a basil plant growing on my window sill for this exact purpose but the cats ATE it. So back to the drawing board on this one.
• Write a blog post when each of these is completed will do...

How are you doing with your resolutions?
